Shim Pipeline Specification for the Unheaded Protocol Computer
This document specifies the Shim pipeline for the Unheaded Protocol
Computer (UPC). The Shim translates MBC (Monad Bytecode) programs
into eBPF execution contexts, defines the per-hop processing model,
and specifies the tick packet protocol that drives distributed
computation across IPv6 network hops. The pipeline implements a
four-stage architecture: Assembly, Verification, Loading, and
Execution, with integrated support for memory-mapped I/O, framebuffer
rendering, and CRC validation.
